It stands to reason that since Pei Yuxuan was a Commandery Princess appointed by the late Emperor, when she was preparing for a marriage dissolution, Xie Wanqing, as the Empress, should intervene.
However, she was in an awkward position, so she could only pretend to be ignorant of it.
Nevertheless, the matter of a Commandery Princess dissolving her marriage is not trivial, and bits of news inevitably reached her ears.
For example, not long after the Lantern Festival, Pei Yuxuan returned alone to Duke Pei Mansion.
After Lu Ziyuan ascended the throne, the influence of Princess Duan Yang's status plummeted, and many feared being associated with the Pei Family, fearing retribution from the new Emperor.
The Zhao family also kept their distance.
